If you’ve been injured in Palatka, Interlachen, Pomona Park, or Crescent City, you don’t need a lawyer who has to use a GPS to find the Putnam County Courthouse. You need a team that lives and works right here.
At the Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., we offer the resources of a powerhouse firm with the personal touch of a neighborhood office. Our Veteran-led leadership means we don’t back down from insurance companies, and we don’t pass our neighbors off to automated phone systems.
Because we are here in the community, we understand the local road conditions and the specific complexities of accidents involving commercial haulers and agricultural vehicles passing through Putnam County.
Putnam County’s roads present unique risks, from heavy industrial freight to high-speed rural stretches. We are specifically equipped to handle serious injury cases occurring on: US-17: A major artery for commercial trucks and commuters where high speeds often lead to catastrophic collisions. State Road 20: A notorious stretch for heavy traffic and dangerous intersections between Palatka and Gainesville. State Road 100 & SR-19: Rural routes where limited visibility and high speeds create significant risks for local drivers.
These roads see a high number of serious accidents, especially involving commercial trucks and long-distance drivers passing through the area. If your accident happened on one of these roads or anywhere in Putnam County—we understand the local conditions, insurance challenges, and how these cases typically unfold.

Jacksonville “mega-firms” often treat Putnam County cases as secondary volume. They don’t know the local roads or the Putnam County court system. We are here, we are accessible, and we are accountable to our neighbors.
Trucking accidents require immediate action to preserve “black box” data and driver logs. Being local allows us to move fast to secure evidence before it disappears.
We help coordinate medical care with providers who accept ‘Letters of Protection’ (LOP). This ensures you receive treatment in Palatka without upfront out-of-pocket costs while your case is pending.
Every case is unique, but our ‘No-Mill’ approach prioritizes speed without sacrificing value. In Putnam County, case timelines depend on your medical recovery and the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate fairly.
Yes. Unlike ‘settlement factories’ where you only speak to case managers, our Veteran-led firm ensures you have direct access to your attorney throughout the litigation process.
